Is anyone else with an Evo experiencing the wrong time zone on their phone? My friend can set his manually to mountain time, but if he has it on automatic it always goes to eastern time zone. He has all updates, prl, profile, reset phone, etc. It's the latest hardware Evo #0004 and no other problems.
That has happened to me on every Android phone I have had and also to my wife and a couple of friends. It will say we're in Africa. A manual zone change fixes it.
had it happen once so far. switched it to manual. couple days later automatic worked fine
Yeah, manual works fine, but that's not the way it's supposed to work. He wants to leave it on automatic for traveling. Sprint told us last night that google, HTC and sprint are all working on an update and that was what was causing the problem for some people and that they had a lot of complaints about it. Said it should be fixed today.
Well mine started with the change in day light savings. I'm located in the Eastern Time Zone and it keeps changing me to Central. Right now I have it set manually to Eastern. Any further updates on if this was fixed and how?

Ok I know people see this issue and I have seen posts for it, but no one ever posts if there is a fix. I live in Arizona, we dont observe daylights savings time here. Well on my Wing if I choose Arizona time for the time zone everything appears to work ok untill the phone changes the time zone to Mountain and then throws of all my appointments in the calendar by 1 hour. I tried disabling the option to automatically change the time based on time zone but no luck. I set the phone to AZ or mountain after the change and all my appointments do not revert then i have to go in and edit all of those. It does not matter what ROM I am running it ssems to happen on all, currently I am running Open Touch 7.3.
Hi all, my TMOUS HD2 randomly changes time zones from EST to PST at least 2-3 times a week on its own when I have "my location" picked as a time. Anyone else have this problem? I flashed to the new T-mo ROM about 3 months ago...Tj
My device and a friend's device is having the same issue. This is irrelevant to the ROM as I am running a Artemis after the 3.14 and my friend is on 1.48
mine just recently started doing that..keeps putting me in the GMT -5 (Indiana) time zone instead of the -4 (Atlantic) I've had to change it like 3 times in one day. Never had a problem with this b4. Wonder if it has anything to do with the ThrottleLauncher WP7 theme i installed on it the other night..because that time setting seems to be changing to.
my uk hd2 keeps doing this over the last week or so, randomly jumping ahead timezones. it's persisted accross multiple energy roms and a stock rom.
weird

my HD2 was doing this but only when i would go home to visit in Richmond TX. When i would update weather manually it would switch to eastern time zone. I think this is because the phone thinks I am in Richmond VA so it switches to Eastern time. I havent found a viable fix for this but its not really an issue.
IS there a chance you are using your phone in a city or town that has a common name in another state? this might be the reason. While riding my motorcycle a while back i stopped in London Arkansas and my phone thought I was in London UK.

same Indiana time zone default issue. I HAVE THE LATEST 3.14 original ROM with c00kie's home tab.
Same here with the original ROM installed. I live in GMT+1 timezone and it sets my time one hour ahead at least 5x a day. Pretty annoying.
Hmmm... wondering if this issue has no fix, or if its not wide spread enough... It DEF has something to do with CUSTOM roms, because both me and my wifes HD2 worked like champs for a month straight out of the box, with location services and the whole nine with out ANY problems, I flashed ChuckyROM and here it is... No matter how many times i change the timezone, no matter how many soft resets, no matter how many ROMS flashed, the time keeps jumping... sometimes one hour, sometimes 2, it onlys corrects when i DISABLE all time syncs and locations... WHICH SUCKS and shouldn't be the fix... ANY HELP would be appreciated , THANKS IN ADVANCE
Hi folks!
Pls. check & use this!

It should fix all time zone issuse... Just give me a feedback!
Regards,
MrT69
That happened to me a long time ago. And I remember I fixed it either by checking/unchecking something on the Windows Mobile Device Center (or ActiveSync), something in the sort of NOT synchronizing Outlook items (no problem with me because I never use that anyway; I use MyPhone instead).
think i have a fix
disable the option in settings - menu - all settings - personal - phone - gsm/umys services - time synch
you can leave the option in settings - data services - internet time sync enabled.
not sure why its changed, i have stock everything....

I know the problem
Hello,
I know this problem.
And I think I know the reason for this "acting out".
It started for my HD2 at the day of the
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME change.
I believe the makers of that phone forgot to install
a daylight savings option.
It would be great, if someone could make a clock that will do that,
or that will verify the time with a different time service,
taking into account daylight savings time (winter/summertime).

Nope. Its a problem for org ROMs also. It probably has somting to do with the Internet-provider or the providers of weather-app etc.
In my case the "my lokation" in the weather-app is showing wrong place. This error appeared at the same time as the clock-problem.
Hey all, the clocks have gone back an hour today to gmt. However my nexus one with cm6.1 is still showing the bst time. I have automatic time selected in settings, so it's supposed to be taking it from the network. I don't want to have to go to manual time selection if possible.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
I'm on O2 and it changed over without any problems.
Not sure if its a phone setting or it comes from the network but either way it worked
Orange here and time changed automatically
Fixed itself
Hmm... After selecting and selecting the automatic time option a few times, it seems to have fixed itself.
I wish out had done it automatically - my alarm went off an hour early!
You can use ClockSync to avoid such problems in the future http://www.appbrain.com/app/clocksync/ru.org.amip.ClockSync
I know that most phones sync without such apps, but I'm a bit OCD about exact time, so I sync my phone daily with atomic clock
So has anyone had an issue with their HD2 Leo giving the wrong time? I was visiting family back in Richmond TX for the week and everytime I went to Richmond TX my phone would move up an hour and when I went to check the time it would say Eastern Time Zone. Im assuming it thinks im in Richmond VA. Does this everytime. THen when I would go back to my other home in Sugar Land TX it would move back the hour to the correct time.
Anyone has a wierd issue like this with your phone? I would figure only people possibly living in a city that has a name common in other states might have this issue. I was in another town called London while I was riding and my phone would think I was in London UK.
im in sugarland, and my phones time has been acting weird all week, maybe its due to my android install but its too strange that this could be a coincidence..
you have to set the phone to local time and you can do that by going to the alarm clock and selecting the world clock and then put the green dot on "my location" and then the phone will automatically adjust the time based upon where you are.
I'm having the same problem. It seemed to go wrong after I tried to install andriod. I have re flashed the stock ROM but the phone is still acting very strange as far as the time is concerned.... Help?
DST?
im in the UK, and we have juyst put the clocks back by an hour after British Summer Time has ended (DST) on sunday 31st October.
since then my HD2 has attempted to reset the time and keeps randomly changing it, yesterday is was showing as no longer on BST and still showing me an hour ahead, today it has randomly changed from 10:30 am to 1:30pm.
not quite sure what is going on with it, when ever i request carrier time it keeps reverting to 1 hour forward but not on BST.
hopefully it will reslove itself over time. if not looks like will have to turn off some of the location services and stick to manual city location within world clock.

You need this thread
The fix using reg edits seems to be the most effective one......
hope that helps.......
On 2 occassion today my phone has had the incorrect time. When it had the wrong time, I could still text and make phone calls. It was 9AM but was displaying noon.
I unchecked the option to obtain the date/time from the network. I then checked it again and it corrected the clock in the top panel (place where the signal and mail icons display.) But the clock on the beautiful weather widget was still off.
Then it happened again randomly. It was 1:50 and it was showing 7:50.
I rebooted the phone and it seems correct now.
Never had this happen before. Now, I don't know if this is coincidence or not but the phone did a software update 2 nights ago.
Any thoughts?

Then a bit later today, it did the same thing.
same here
dude, I've been having those problems ALL EFFING DAY today. I have myself half convinced it's because I flashed the new rooted OTA update, along with the radio kernels posted on here. What setup are you running? Are you stock? Have you installed the new OTA update? If someone on here can figure this out you're my hero.
As a side note, when my phone time was off, it said in my settings that it was pulling time info from the "w. africa" time zone... I'm in Michigan. If I refreshed the option to "load time from network", it would correct for a second then go back to africa... wtf

Everything on my EVO is stock, nothing rooted. And I did the OTA update 2 days ago via WIFI.
well I'm somewhat glad to hear it's not because of the root, but it's still disappointing. I've tracked it down to the new radio kernels though... and I believe the reason is the cell network boosters some buildings use. My company I work at has them, and now that's the only place I have this problem. Didn't have it with the old kernels, but I do with the new ones. It's fine everywhere but at work where the boosters are
I don't remember when hut recently my evo also had he wrong time, I don't remember and of the details but I was recently and it seemed like I notes it twice in one day....
Im on stocked rooted 3.29
